I'm sure it will go great.
Plus...I always find it interesting when a player goes and makes a contract completely buy-out proof and that teams agree to it.

If I were in a negotiating position and the player and/or Agent came to me with a contract that was completely buyout-proof? I think I'd say something like:

"Well, 'buyout-proof' has value, so that AAV has to come down. I can't give you something of value without receiving value in return. We value you at $14m but you want this, you want that and the other things, no problem, but then then AAV has to come down accordingly as to how we value those options."

Not to mention, just the Optics of that contract. That GAF level is going to plunge into the sewer near the end of that contract.
